RIIFF Announces 2005 Screenplay Competition Winners
After weeks of deliberation, the
ninth annual Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF) has announced the winners for this year's Screenplay Competition from among more than 200 entries.
The Grand Prize winner for 2005 is Alderman's Story by George Csicsery
of Oakland, California. His historical drama gives a balanced portrayal
of the rising tensions between the original English colonists and the
Native Americans that culminated in the King Philip's War.
"George's script was insightful and engaging, he obviously understood
his subject matter and was able to craft it into a compelling story,"
commented Adam Short, the Coordinator for the Screenplay Competition
According to George T. Marshall, Executive Director of RIIFF, "The
quality of this year's screenplays exemplifies the respect and maturity
of our competition. It is known within the film industry for
encouraging innovative storytelling. We work hard to ensure this
tradition and this year is no exception. I am very excited about this
year's winners."
The RIIFF accepts original feature-length screenplays on any subject
matter and in any genre. A distinguished panel of industry
professionals, screenwriters, and members of the general public judge
the screenplays based on their creativity, innovation, vision,
originality, and use of language.
The Grand Prize winner for 2004 was Kat Chandler's Brain Brawl, a comedic
screenplay that follows a popular teenage girl whose world turns upside
down when she transfers to an intense college preparatory school where
nerds are at the top of the social heap and members of Brain Brawl, the
academic decathlon team, are worshipped.
